Sew, Mama, Sew is having their semiannual giveaway week again!
I have a rainbow scrap pack up for grabs. I might still add some pinks... maybe some selvedges too.

To enter, just leave a comment on this post. I'd love to hear what you're working on or what your plans are for summer this year. I'm moderating comments (because the word verification is so annoying), so your comment won't show up until I approve it.
I'm willing to ship international.
The giveaway will close on May 10 at 5 p.m. Pacific time. I'll email the winner (and post the winner's name here) so make sure you're not a no reply blogger (or include your email address in your comment.)

If you're new, welcome! I have a few quilting and clothing sewing tutorials linked up under the top banner, if you have time, or come back later. :) Good luck with the giveaways!

Don't forget to head over to Sew, Mama, Sew for many more chances to win. :)

LOVE those scraps! Crossing my fingers and thanks for the chance to win!

I'm working on several things at the moment; a scrappy HST quilt, machine quilting for a friend, and a scrappy checkers & stars quilt (all in blues; it is either going to be brilliant or horrible). I also plan to finally finish a cute little Halloween applique quilt I started 5 years ago.

I've got a BOM sampler quilt & Hawaiian star runner I'm currently working on. Of course, if I were to win those would immediately be thrown to the back burner while I start whipping up some wonky log cabins with those rainbow scraps. Eep!

I'm currently working on several things. In the quilt arena, I'm working on a big sampler quilt that I'm doing by using the medallion method so I can get a firmer handle on FMQing. :D Other from that, I've always got a project on the knitting needles.adriprints(at)yahoo(dot)com

I'm working on a quilt along, but slowly. I have 12 chicks that seem to need lots of care, and my grandchildren are with us until the end of the month then moving to Texas, I'm in CA. so I am spending a lot of time with them.

I am just about to start some personalised wedding bunting for a friend. Thank you for a lovely giveaway. I adore scraps as I make a lot of hexies which eventually get joined together to become bags.ks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk

I'm looking forward to a summer where I'm not moving (like the last two summers) and not living overseas (like the five before that) and can just enjoy being at home breaking in my new sewing machine. I've got one quilt on the machine, one cut and my hand sewn hexies on the couch. Oh. And sleeping in - definitely looking forward to sleeping in.

Fun giveaway! I'm currently working on a quilt for my 12 yr old son, his design, I'm just implementing it for him. These scraps will actually go to him if I win; he sews small things and loves getting new scraps for his mini-stash :)

I am going to a quilt retreat this weekend so hope to assemble 1 top where I have finished the blocks , and plan the design of a grandmother's flower garden . I've completed 49 hexies but will hand piece together.

Currently working on putting quilt blocks together that I inherited from my mil, made from scraps from her mother. Enough blocks completed to make a large quilt. I have several others to do. Have finished a basket one that I need to quilt.

Sweet givewaway! I am about to start two Monster High upcycle dresses for my friend, but I would rather be starting on my daughters quilt using Michael Miller Happy Tones and Michael Miller Sorbet Magical Unicorns. I still need to figure out a pattern...hmmm Thanks for the giveaway!

I am working on a dress using a Project Runway fabric. I never watched the show, but the dress looks super cute and I was very pleased when I opened it up and started to trace the pattern that there is only two pages of directions! Hurrah!

Should finish a quilt but have a deadline for translation on Friday (and instead of working I am browsing through the giveaways...). Plan to make every kind of marmelades this summer (sour cherry, apricot, wild strawberry, plum, if we have any luck) and sew a lot...ehodasz at yahoo dot com

This summer, I'm hoping to start working on a scrappy quilt with my 7yo daughter. She's shown an interest before, but not the patience... if she likes it, it'll be nice to have something for just the two of us to do together.

I need to finish my husband's quilt before summer officially starts. Our apartment is soooo hot and humid in the summer so he wanted a thin quilt of his own to use because mine from when I was a kid is only big enough for me. I've had it waiting on me for over a year now, it WILL get done :)

What a great selection of scraps. And yes some Pinks would be wonderful. I'm working on a quilt for a friend whose wife is disabled. She was in a nursing home for 5 years and is finally home. Thanks for the giveaway!

What am I working on right now? Half a dozen EPP projects including hexies AND diamond, 4-5 applique projects, 5 quilts waiting for more quilting, 2 ready for labels...I could go on but it is a little overwhelming to say the least.

I have a quilting goal for the summer and into fall. Friends are getting married and I am planning on making them an Alaskan sampler quilt...although changing up bits to make it a Yukon sampler quilt instead. Which means instead of the Alaskan blue I am using Fireweed Pink and green.

Oh, lovely scraps! I'm working on a Farmers Wife quilt, a grandmothers garden English paper pieced quilt and various baby quilts for my shop this summer. Plus I'll hopefully get to some tops that need to be made into quilts too!

I've got four quilts in the works, a mug rug and cup cozy for a swap, two center blocks for round robins starting this summer, and a pile of hexies...oh yes and a laptop cover...think that's about it....for now:)

I am right now working with a few WIP's. Well, a few... many!!! But I also have plans to start a medallion quilt, maybe a Marcelle Medallion. This summer I hope I'll be able to go swimming, that the weather will be ok !

i have fantastic plans this summer... my little sister is getting married so we're planning that AND i'm going on my first beach trip in 18 years! she's having a beach bachelorette weekend and i am so excited!

I'm working on a baby quilt for a friend's first child, and making a lot of improv blocks. And I'm going to make myself a new bag, because I really need it and I have some great fabric I can't bear to give away!

I have 3 quilt tops that I am FMQ. These are quilt tops that I have made at sewing retreats last year and one from this weekend. I have already quilted 2 queen size quilts this year on my home machine. I am trying to become more experienced with FMQ. Thank you for the chance to win your scraps.

I'm making a black/white quilt for granddaughter's high school graduation. Then a quilt for her younger sister. I have several to quilt; I do on domestic sewing machine. Hardest part is deciding how to quilt!

Hi there,I'm working on several UFOs at the moment, including a quilt for our sofa, seaside bunting for my nephew's bedroom, and some cosmetic bags as presents for friends - oh and some new cushion covers too.

I'm just finishing the binding on a baby quilt, and have to sew the binding on a mini quilt. Then I've got a couple of star blocks to make to finish a sampler quilt. When that is sashed and backed I can start on blocks for the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt I have been longing to make. whilst I am piecing that in the daytime, I will hand quilt the star sampler in the evenings.

I'm working on a New York Beauty and hope to finish this week. I love collecting scraps and when I have enough for a King size quilt, that will be a long awaited project to tackle! Thank you for your fab giveaway.

I'm on vacation right now so I've brought 5 embroideries I'm working on with me hoping to finish at least some of them up. Amazing how I cant step away from the sewing machine long enough at home to finish any of them ;)Thank you for the giveaway, I have a serious fondness for scraps!

Thanks for a scrappy give away. I am working on a Dr Seuss quilt for each of my boys before they grow too old for it. I have a give away also at http://findingfifth.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/mama-said-give-away.html

I am working on bucket hats for my kids for summer. I should be sewing right now during nap time but I am checking out blogs and entering giveaways instead! These giveaway days are full of inspiration but low on productivity!
